It's nice to have all the extra speed and more hard drive space.

But then all those programs and apps have to be installed, and all the data moved over.

One of the problems I will have in the future is that I have old programs, like quickbooks, that isn't being supported any longer. That means I can't install it on the new machine. The new quickbooks are rented instead of owned, and I don't like that and won't do that.

When I get a new machine, I make a directory called old computer and transfer all the old data to the new hard drive in case I missed something. Of course that includes all the data from the one before that and the one before that. But, I don't lose anything.

Last time I bought an external hard drive and stored a lot of the old things there. But those things are so slow.
